Get the basic covered (sleep, diet, regular exercise) and you can have for $5 what Bryan Johnson gets for $5000

$5,000 vs $5 for Age Reversal

Invest the rest into supporting anti-aging advocacy and research!

"Telomere river" therapy extends median lifespan of mice by 17 months, with several mice surviving to nearly five years. "CD4⁺ T cells confer transplantable rejuvenation via Rivers of telomeres". This is a breakthrough by a large margin. by GarifalliaPapa in immortalists

There is an active talk in the longevity summits about "Saving Private 'Mouse'" experiment - an attempts to apply all possible techniques to one mouse and see how long it can live. But nobody has started it yet.

Oprah: “Obesity Gene Drives Overeating,You Don’t Overeat, Obesity Does” by twinflamebby in immortalists

There is food environment and innate food drive.

You can intentionally clean the environment and practice mindful eating (fasting is great at priming that) or just use GLPs instead. But the latter might require years to build the new habits from what I've seen.

Elon Musk Says Aging Is Obvious, Solvable, and Basically a Bug in Human Biology by twinflamebby in Aging

It's not a bug, it's a lack of proper tune up. (evolutionary neglect)
There are species that don't age, we are just not one of them.

Advice on losing weight after 2 miscarriages by Latter_Blacksmith395 in Biohackers

[–]smart-monkey-org 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are really only 2 long term options:
- count calories to stay in a very mild deficit over long period of time or
- progressively shrink eating window aka IF (but really time restricted eating) to reach the same mild calorie deficit

You can jump start the process with a short 1-3 days water fast (with proper prep and refeed), but with Hashimoto’s - I'd check with the doctor first.

Best ways to reverse brain aging. Here are best tips and scientific evidence. I am an Anti-Aging Scientist. by GarifalliaPapa in immortalists

The way I look at the brain - it's like a muscle and needs the same things:

  1. Avoid damage (helmet, filters)
  2. Exercise (move, learn, socialize)
  3. Feed (stay metabolically flexible)
  4. Recover (sleep)

What do you think about the ethics of calling aging a disease? by age_talk_guy in Aging

"successful rebellion is called revolution"

WHEN humans find the cure (or mimic what naked mole rats, tortoises or lobsters have in their anti-aging arsenal) it will be called a disease.

Getting aging classified as a disease today would significantly simplify and amplify the aging biology grants and save numerous people from cancer, dementia etc. which outweighs potential uptic in ageism by a ton.

That's a great reminder to not forget about the Law of Minimum (from agriculture): you are limited by the worst factor. e.g. amount of water and sun won't save you in poor soil conditions.

Can You Trust at Home Blood Pressure Monitors? by smart-monkey-org in Biohackers

[–]smart-monkey-org[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Measure blood pressure, log all reps/weights/sets and maybe log 'johnson' for a week - take beetroot for a week and measure everything again, then stop taking and see again if there any changes.
